I’ve never been the kind of person to tip-toe around what we’re all thinking, so I’m just going to say it: Donald Trump is making Pennsylvanians’ lives worse.

There’s no silver lining when it comes to this administration. His policies have wreaked havoc across our Commonwealth. He’s jacked up costs, ripped away health care, and told thousands of kids here in Pennsylvania he doesn’t care if they go hungry.

With all that said, I’m confident in Pennsylvania’s ability to stand up to Donald Trump and defend the rule of law — but make no mistake: He’s coming for your freedoms. So here in Pennsylvania, we need to stand tall.

I’ll explain more in a second, but before I go on, you should know: After last year’s elections, I’m one of the last statewide Democrats left in Pennsylvania. That means it’s on this team — and this team alone — to hold the line against Trump’s dangerous movement here in Pennsylvania. Can you chip in $10 to help us do exactly that?

John, I’m proud of everything we’ve accomplished here in Pennsylvania together — especially since Donald Trump returned to the White House.

While his policies are raising costs, we’ve taken steps to put more money into Pennsylvanians’ pockets. Here in our Commonwealth, we’ve cut taxes more than six times. We passed the largest tax cut for seniors in nearly two decades. We created the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit to deliver tax relief for working families. And we tripled the Child Care Tax Credit to give families a little more breathing room in their budgets.

And while Trump is focused on pardoning his criminal friends — including those who assaulted police officers on January 6 — Pennsylvania has bolstered public safety. We’ve secured funding for over 800 new Pennsylvania State Police troopers and nearly 700 local law enforcement officers.

The contrast couldn’t be more clear, John. In Pennsylvania, we’re making progress on the issues that matter most: Affordability, safety, education, jobs, and so much more.

Pennsylvania’s future is on the line, and we can’t allow the far-right’s dangerous agenda to come directly to our Commonwealth’s front door. Please, will you chip in to put Team Shapiro in the strongest position possible before the new year?

Thanks a ton,

Josh Shapiro
